THE ANGEL OF HIGH SCHOOL

"KRISTA HURRY UP!! YOU WILL BE LATE" my mother yells from the bottom of stairs. I can hear the irritation in my mothers voice as I slowly get up out of bed, slowly peeling myself off of the soft and warm comfort of my pillow-top mattress.

after smacking my alarm clock as hard as possibly can to make the blaring music-if that's what you can call it-stop, I hop in the shower with ease letting the hot water help loosen my muscles from a rough night's sleep.  I can't help but to wonder what today will be like.

I stare at my reflection on the first morning of my new high school  for my junior year, and hope no one notices how im really different than anyone else in this cold small town. ive only been here for two weeks and I already cant wait to get out of this sad place.

I take a step back, look at my long brown hair and my lean body and wonder

why cant I be the same?

why can't I just be a normal teenage girl who cries at movies like titanic or go out with anyone I want.

You see, I'm completely different from the other girls, I have seen and lived in different places than anyone on the face of the earth. You see, I'm an angel. Well a banished one. But still an angel all in the same. My mother and I were banished from heaven by the almighty himself because my mother decided that I wasn't supposed to be there to begin with. That was almost 5 years ago. I'm not allowed to date or hang out, its not who I am anyway. Some of these girls are half insane and I can see the dirty looks no matter where I go. Hopefully this year will be different.

In a small town somewhere close to the mountains in Maine are not the best place for a girl who doesn't work out or even know how to run fast. Maybe I can learn. I just want to be normal for once. I loved being in heaven. I wish I was still there but yet there was still something that pulled at my heart when id look down at the world from above, longing. longing to feel what its like to be a teenage girl.

I should have known it would be completely different than what I saw from above. I have been moving place to place for the past 5 years... you see, angels don't age, yes technically we all age sometime but one year for a mortal human comes to two decades for us... well them I should say.

im not sure how everyone will react when I get to school today. hopefully not as bad as my last school. they were horrible... well at least the girls were. can you say rude?

I am finally please with how I look today and look at my clock only to see that, as usual, im late.

I let out a snort and smile. as I go down stairs to see what my mothers doing, i find her at the dinning table, drinking coffee and looking at her computer typing feverishly. to what? i have no idea. i don't really care to be honest. i just stop by the doorway and lean against the banister and look at her.

my mom is quite beautiful. as all angels are though. her hair is long like mine but somewhat darker brown. her eyes are piercing blue, as are mine. a lot of people say we could be twins if she were my age. i snort at that thought and my mom looks up at me.

"why are you just standing there? lets go, you are already late. though i don't know why it surprises me." she tosses my keys at me and i look at my keychains and my heart hurts. they are from all my old friends from other schools.

"yeah yeah i get this lecture enough mom. ill see you later. don't wait up" i yell as i close and lock the door behind me. just a precaution. there are some people down here on earth who would kill to get just a drop of our blood. a drop, will give them a lot of time.... eternity if lived correctly.

i pull up to the large highschool and am immediately taken back.

"what the hell?" i mutter to myself. why is this school so big when its in such a tiny town? i guess other towns come here too. i grab my bag and get out of the car, kick the door closed with a swift light motion and lock it from behind me.

this place reminds me of a college i went on a trip for a few years ago. its big enough for all the dorms.

I don't even get the chance to look up  before I can feel eyes on me.... AWKWARDDD i think with so much exaggeration I feel as if its just going to spill out. I cant help but to smile to myself. this is ridiculous.

i just walk past all those eyes and attempt to  make my way to the office for my schedule. But as soon as I open the door, more eyes. Damn. How many kids are here.

I can feel one pair of eyes especially burning a hole into the back of my neck. I turn to find just two people still staring at me. A really hot guy, and -I'm going to guess that by the way he has his arm around her- his girlfriend. She's looking at me and man if looks could kill, id be.... well still standing there since I can't die. I'm technically already dead.....

Wait does that mean that I'm like a vampire or some sort of zombie thing? That'd be totally awesome. I mean seriously, twilight and warm bodies? Cute movies. not cry worthy but still, definitely up there.

I turn back and turn the corner to attempt to get away from the stare... I have never been that uncomfortable in my life... ha-ha get it? life? I've only been alive for what? 5 years?

I reach the door that says main office and i take a deep breath before grabbing the door handle only to have someone pull it away from me and i get pulled into the office and some jerk just looks and laugh.

"dick" i say only loud enough for him to hear. he turns to look at me an does that creepy psycho thing that people do to mean death.

i just laugh. he looks at me like ive got some screws loose. and so do a lot of the people around us. too bad they don't know about me haha.

"try me sweetie" he snaps at me as i finish laughing.

"id love to see you try darling" i say as i snap my hair and walk away.

and that was the beginning of hell in high school.
